The moving pictures of the Jack Johnson- Jim Flynn world's championship boxing contest at Las Vegas bear out my story of the mil’. Those who have viewed them saw Champion Johnson holding and blan keting Flynn for probably two minutes nut of every three that should have been devoted to fair, stand-up boxing They saw Flynn tearing to close quar ters In spite of the occasional spells of hooking and uppercutting he was subjected to. and they saw Johnson, under Flynn's persistent boring in, grow gradually tired and less Inclined tn trade punches with the fireman. Johnson's Holding Shown. Tire scene at the conclusion of the bout when the state police invaded the ring to call a halt, is particularly vivid. For some reason the pictures are much cleare- than such things usually are, and the determined look on the face of the police captain, as well as the puzzled expressions on the faces of Promoter Curley and other Interested parties who clambered into the ring, are reproduced with notable effect. Just befo’e the invasion of the ring by the authorities. Flynn Is seen ex postulating with Referee Smith, who has pulled the fighters apart to admon ish Flynn for butting. Flynn is trying to persuade the referee that butting Is the only recourse when an opponent resorts to holding the way Johnson did. Johnson, meanwhile, is standing a few feet away and there is something about him that he Is not over-anxious to continue boxing Champ Talked to Writere. When the police come In. Flynn pleads with the captain to be allow ed to continue, but the official shakes his head and waves his arm to signify that the fight has gone far enough. Flynn then walks to his coiner with a jaunty manner, while Johnson saun ters slowly to the ropes and gives his version of the affair to the men in the press division Hi this time Johnson's 'golden smile" has mellowed Into a saddened look but every play of ex pression on the champion's features is remarkably distinct as he stands there talking to the newspaper men. Spider Ki tv. one of San Francisco's most famous pugilistic experts, was an interested watcher of the moving pic tures Kelly attended the fight and was among those holding the opinion that Johnson put up a wretched fight and was in dange- of being wont down if the state police had held aloof "When Johnson boxes again, no mat ter where it is. I will be at the ringside to bet against him." said Kelly, when the films bad ceased running "He has had his day and will surely be de feated if his next opponent is a rug ged fellow with plenty of pluck" TOM LYNCH PUTS BLAME ON “HIS UMPS” RIGLER NEW Y< >RK, July 13. President Lynch of the National league has made a thorough investigation of the row be tween three Chicago players and some spectators at a game it.

JL DY 13. 1912. Crackers Are Off Tonight on a ‘Jinks Journey” •E»t -r-e-r -{•••?• •j-e-E +«•?• Second Invasion of the South Is Always Unlucky By Percy H. Whiting. rpHE Cracker club, after to day's game, is off for the far south. When the festivi ties set for this afternoon end the locals will hike out on the Jinx Trip of the season. Maybe the curse Is off this trip this year, and possibly it will run as smoothly as a dynamo. But If it does, it will establish new precedents. For in years past the second Jaunt of the Crackers among the southern teams has ever been the Trouble Trip. It was on this second southern trip when Bill Smith's famous "rubber ball" charge was made, that Otto Jordan was arrested and that the league was thrown Into a turmoil that k<*#t it seething the rest of the year. It was, if mem ory serves, on a second southern trip Shat, Jim Fox received the wound in his arm that ruined the best first baseman Atlanta ever had. It is a trip that has been marked with injuries, defeats and ructions. But mavbe the luck has changed. • * • THE runs made in the forfeited game Thursday do not count. To many it might seem an imma terial point whether they counted or not: but to the many who are In baseball pools the question of how many runs were made is an inter esting one. And for the benefit of this it may be mentioned that the score of forfeited games is 9 to 0 (though what logical reason there ever was for making the forfeit score 9 to 0 has never been demon strated). In order to get a definite ruling, The Georgian wired President W. M. Kavanaugh of the Southern league. His reply was: "According to rule 27, averages do not count, as five innings not played." As a matter of real fact, rule 27 does not cover specifically this par ticular point. It relates only to games terminated by the umpire under rule 22. section 3. And Thursday’s second game was not covered by that particular section, for it was not "called on account of darkness, rain, fire, panic or any other cause which put patrons or players in peril." However, even if the president quoted the wrong rule, it Is appar ent that nothing counts in a game that runs less than four and a half Innings. Thanks to O'Toole's nerve, however, the victory went for At lanta. • • • \\HTH one exception, the Crack ** er club has not found a pitch er in the Southern league yet that it could beat with any regularity. The sole and illuminating exception is Heinle Berger. He has lost three to the (’rackets and has won none. Otherwise, the Crackers haven't found a man this year they could defeat oftener than once without losing a few to him to spoil the showing. Os course, that isn't so amazing when it is considered how infrequently the Crackers have de feated anybody. It's queer the way some pitchers prove jinxes to certain clubs and how some clubs put the hickey on others. For instance, Aitcheson has won four games from Atlanta without losing any Foxen has won three from Memphis and three from New Orleans without losing an' Demaree has won four from New Orleans without losing any Case has had Mobile's goat, to the extent of three in a row. Dessau has trimmed Montgomery three times running Chattanooga is pie for Campbell, who has piled up three victories without a defeat A few teams are hoodoos for cer ■ain pitchers. Fleharty can't get by Mobi c and has lost th.ee games, all he ha.« pitched against the Golls. Foxen is Jonahed by Mobile and Chattanooga. Chappelle can't do anything with Memphis or Mobile. Josh Swindell has dropped three and won none form Memphis. Johns has lost all he has pitched against Birmingham. Coveleskie finds Bir mingham his only Teal stumbling block. More is in the same fix, and so is Fritz. Baseball fans, except the bettors, do not pay a lot of attention to this especial slant,® but managers do. When they find’a pitcher can't win against a club, they try to jockey their staff so that he will not have to try. Bill Smith has ever been a great believer in the efficiency of certain of his pitchers against cer tain clubs. He keeps most elab orate pitching records, and can tell you to the last fraction of a hit what his pitchers are doing against the various clubs. A lot of the old psychology stuff enters into this. Let a pitcher be lieve he can beat a particular club and he will usually do it. On the other hand, let him believe that he can’t get by any’ one team and lie's beaten before he goes in. A wise manage r. knowing these things, jockeys his staff accordingly.

XTOT since the days of Noah has baseball suffered as much at the hands of the weather man as it has this year. Not satisfied with raining all the spring and making training impossible, it has rained almost every day since. Yesterday's game was off on ac count of the rain. The second game Thursday ended in a shower. It rained the day before that. It rained the day before that. It has been raining as long as human mind can remember —not all the time, but usually at game time or shortly afterward. The Southern league magnates are feeling the strain. So is the league. If it rains, you can't play baseball. And if you don't play baseball. there are no gate re ceipts. It's certainly a tough prop osition. On the other hand, the moguls have been helped out by a close race. There isn't a team in the league except Nashville that isn't in the hunt. And a close race means money for the moguls. So maybe they will do fairly- well aft er all. AD HAS BROKEN HAND; RIVERS TO CLAIM TITLE LOS ANGELES, CAL., July 13.—Fol lowing the report given out by Tom Jones, manager of Ad Wolgast. that an X-ray’ examination of Wolgast's right hand had disclosed two broken bones which would force him to remain out of the ring for at least three months. Joe Levy, Joe Rivers' manager, issued an ultimatum that he would claim the lightweight championship so" Rivers if Wolgast did not sign articles within 48 hours for a return match. "I am tired of keeping my foot on the soft pedal and waiting liat in hand for Ad Wolgast to attach his signa ture to articles for a return match with Joe Rivers,” said Levy. "I consider that Joe Rivers is rightfully entitled to the lightweight championship right now. but we would sooner win it than claim it. "If Wolgast is sincere in his desire for another bout, now is the time fur him to declare himseif. If Wolgast's hand is really broken, which I doubt, we can sign articles now with the pro vision that he be allowed time enough to get thoroughly well.” MAY SUTTON DEFEATS MARY BROWNE EASILY LOUISVILLE, KY.

I submit my can didacy for the consideration of the vot ers of said county. Tlte legislature in Its wisdom sub mitted to the people a constitutional amendment providing for the election of superior court judges by popular vote.- The people, having overwhelm ingly ratified this amendment, thereby acquired the right to choose their own judges. The amendment contemplated that the people should elect, and that no pri vate caucus of a few individuals should usurp their prerogative in behalf of the candidacy of any one man and thus deprive the people of their constitu tional right to make their own selec tion. 1 therefore deem it not improper to call in person during the campaign upon every voter of Fulton county and enlist his good will and support. If 1 should fail to make the acquaintance of any qualified voter during the cam paign the failure will be due only to the brief time remaining between my announcement and election day.
